A recent Pew Research Internet Project report<http://visit.oclc.org/t?r=896&c=3839352&l=275636&ctl=4BF1DB2:E27B0CD5DD233EA4A4808B06E4CC2E8CBBBE1ADFE3D02CC7&> predicts that “The Internet of Things (IoT) will thrive by 2025,” and suggests that "the opportunities and challenges resulting from amplified connectivity will influence nearly everything, nearly everyone, nearly everywhere."

But the Internet of Things goes beyond smartphones and tablets. Smart cars will tell us when to get gas based on our navigation plans. Alarm clocks will wake us earlier if there’s an accident on the route to work. Health monitors for people and animals will provide real-time alerts that summon appropriate care. Applications like these are already available on relatively small scales. But how will our lives change when entire systems of objects—buildings and communities, energy grids, public safety, transportation, schools, healthcare facilities and factories—all connect, communicate and react?
